What is QuickBooks / QuickBooks Accountant?
Powerful Bookeeping software for business and accountants
Interactive for Business and robust for accounts
Allows you clients to focus on running their business even on the go – allowing you to help keep them compliant.
Through the QuickBooks Accountant portal you have full visibility of the all your clients & Being in the cloud allows you to easily collaborate.
- Please ensure you draw out the difference between the two products nice and clearly. i.e. QuickBooks is what our SMB clients use. QuickBooks Accountant is the product that our accountant partners use to get easy access to all of their clients etc etc and that is what we will be focussed on during the training today.
Cloud – forget the ‘technical’ stuff.
The cloud is all about ‘Access to Real Time Information’ - Always up to date
‘Access from Anywhere’ - Phone, Tablet & PC – Anywhere internet is available
‘Collaboration’ (both parties looking/working at the same info at the same time – whether that is client / Accountant or multi-site accountant working)
No Software updates or additional infrastructure.
Bank Level encryption and security
?
Summarise but do not dwell and point to details in their pack.

Getting Started is straight forward and in your hand out we take you through the basic steps to set-up for first client.
Quickest way to get started is to convert existing data – Chart of Accounts is pre-populated – if you wish you can import your own as well as customer/ suppliers and your products and services
Overview of the home screen.
Show the settings briefly that allow you to customise to your client needs including CIS/Flat rate & rechargeable expenses.
Left Navigation and show where the Customer & Supplier Centre.
Demonstrate
Sales Invoices – Key Features – Add on the fly / List of Products & Services / Save & show recurring. Show Transaction History – Show GoCardless & Paypal. Save & Send. Show Attachments & send History.
Sales Receipt – Demonstrate a Sales Receipt already set-up for a retail customer.
PO & Bill – Access an existing PO & convert to a Bill – Show the items & Nominal Code entry & Pay Bill. Show batch bill payments. Mention Convers Sales order to Purchase order and & non-posting.
Expense – Via Mobile App – Take a picture with the phone & show on Screen.
Show the Estimate & signature panel
Bank – Show the bank feed and the add/match functions including Rules
Staying Compliant – Vat & Payroll
Accountant Tools - ToolBox – Journals (reverse/recur/VAT/Attach). Reclassify Transactions, Audit Trail & user controls
Reports – Powerful reports & Management Tools
- Ecosystem / Apps – think of QBO / QBOA as you do your smartphone. Whilst it is powerful on its own, we have the ability to integrate specialized Apps in to the product to expand the capabilities of the platform. The ‘lego’ picture is a good representation of that – think of the brick wall as QBO/QBOA and the lego bricks as the apps working with it.
Within QuickBooks Desktop 2014 and 2015 there is now a link to export your data to QuickBooks Online,
In X steps you could have your data in and ready
